    And before you mention the Vikings, they FOUND America but didn't DISCOVER it. Think about the verb discover: dis-cover. They didn't know they had found another continent and the rest of the world didn't take notice till centuries later. 

    What?  The Vikings discovered America period. North America to be specific. 

    "They didn't know they found another continent" ?  What are you talking about?

    Yep, when does camp start and who is going to give us some first hand accounts? 🥷

    All, we're doing now is playing guessing games on who will shine and how well they may play together as offensive and defensive units.

    There is some dispute about Columbus even being Italian....or Genoan...  Some say he was really from either the Basque region or Catalan..

    Aragonian, or Catalonian.

    Of course, Italy was united at one time:  it was called The Roman Empire.

    Ghoolie, after his first week living in Vegas:

    Dude, Memphis is hotter than Vegas. I have been in the desert, miles out.......... I will take it ANY DAY versus Memphis heat. Until you experience summer in Memphis, you have no idea what uncomfortable weather is. #1 place in America for respiratory problems. Bad air, morbid humidity, total lack of winds................... I have been to the Middle East...........Memphis is worse.

    Not debating about that humidity.   So, in Memphis you turn into a mass of jelly.....In Vegas, you become mummified. 😉

    Discover some history you may not have known:

    The Vikings may have made it as far inland as Minnesota.   The Kensington Runestone was found there:

    Correct , Sir!

    I saw a documentary about Columbus.. (Among the many I've seen).. He's supposed to be of Jewish faith... And I remember something vaguely about Catalan... But that Columbus was pretty much a real disgusting human being , according to some of the personal encounters between Natives and those of his crew...

    I'm not opening the link, but what I mean is that they FOUND America. But it's like when you meet a place and don't tell anyone. Or when someone finds something in an area (Physics, Medicine). You don't DIS-COVER it until you tell the world.

    Ok, sorta like when a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a  sound?

    Likewise if someone discovered something and no one is told, did he really discover something?

    If you're cruzin' drink heavily. Glaciers, many glaciers. Nothing like having a martini or Manhattan with glacial ice fished out of the ocean.  August isn't the best time to go, as the weather is nicer earlier in the year. Near 100% probability of otters too, bet you didn't know those critters have a fur count of 10,000 sq\in. Whales likely. Sorry, no polar bears. If the weather behaves, take the helicopter tour of the Mendenhall glacier outside of Juneau.

    Same thing they bitch about seeing in Colorado in August......................................................................Texians.😛

    EDIT: You hear about the Texian who found out that 90% of the people who die do so within 5 miles of their home?

    So he moved to Alaska.😆

    I am packing cigars, binoculars, shorts and T-shirts. If it's cold, I can think about Vegas. The wife is very excited about this trip. The thing I am going to enjoy is illuminating for all the passengers that the bottled water on the ship is recycled Caca-Peepee water and shower water. :-). A little Alaskan Ghoolie.........
